October 17, 2008 LM22671 500 mA SIMPLE SWITCHER®, Step-Down Voltage Regulator with FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
High efficiency (>90%) is obtained through the use of a low ON-resistance N-channel MOSFET. National’s WEBENCH® tool includes features such as external component calculation, electrical simulation, thermal simulation, and Build-It boards for easy design-in. The switching clock frequency is provided by an internal fixed frequency oscillator which operates at 500 kHz. The switching frequency can also be adjusted with an external resistor or synchronized to an external clock up to 1 MHz. It is also possible to selfsynchronize multiple regulators to share the same switching frequency. The LM22671 series also has built in thermal shutdown, current limiting and an enable control input that can power down the regulator to a low 25 µA quiescent current standby condition. An adjustable soft-start feature is provided by selecting an appropriate external soft-start capacitor. F...
